When we arrived at Altan Dhub the sun was shining. This was to be our last stop on our tour of Ross-shire before heading back to Inverness and on to Elgin for a quick family visit. We went down the little steps towards Altan Dhub which translates from Gaelic as Black Water. The views were incredible, solid black rocks, an old black stone bridge and the sparkling waters. Camera at the ready to capture this little beauty, the weather turned in an instant, we were again caught in a white out! We returned reluctantly to the car with poor Shannon now knowing how the sheep felt in this white wilderness. While we were shaking the last of the snow off our coats and off the dogs - well you probably guessed the sun decided to reappear while the car engine turned and we were on our way home. Haste me back!
